3,200 professors have signed a pro-Ayers petition. And you wonder why I get so pissed off at liberals? I have to work with these idiots every day. The Steveosphere is one place that takes intelligence seriously, but my work environment reminds me on a daily basis that IQ ain't everything.

And this "Ayers is a leading education scholar" is nonsense. I knew of Ayers years ago, but as a terrorist, not a serious scholar. I've never run across his work on education or juvenile justice in anything I've ever read. That's probably because I stick to serious, quantitative research, not Marxist drivel.

Amen to that. I have to work around high IQ types all day long in academia. We're look for a new university president, judging by our last couple, I'm sure the night manager at a McDonald's could do a better job.

With his long list of honors and major foundation grants Ayers is establishment with a capital E. This is probably due both to his history of leftist activism and his family connections. Ayers' recently deceased father was a very big civic leader in Chicago and a close confidant of the first Mayor Daley.

"The creation myth was the essential bond that held the tribe together. It provided its believers with a unique identity, commanded their fidelity, strengthened order, vouchsafed law, encouraged valor and sacrifice, and offered meaning to the cycles of life and death. No tribe could survive long without the meaning of its existence defined by a creation story. The option was to weaken, dissolve, and die." ~ E.O. Wilson
